administration that the administration is going to have a greater and deeper focus on the importance of iraq and did engage iraq more fully, more frequently, and at higher levels, because we have seen what happens when the relationship deteriorates, as it did after 1958, and particularly under saddam. with our military leverage gone, we need to take advantage of the agreement to increase our political leverage, not to make iraq do things, but to demonstrate to iraq that it has a partner, it has an ally, it has options other than looking to iran for all the reasons that emma sky just laid out. >> there is a limited bandwidth in washington in dealing with these issues, and part of the tragedy of afghanistan, was that we turned so much of our attention to iraq, and with the administration's focus in afghanistan, as well as a broader set of issues, it has come at a cost in dealing with it around. >> as has been said in the we are a great power and we can do more than one thing at one time. >> as has been said in the past, we are a great power and we can actually do more than one thing at

the decision that the obama administration made to continue to enforce doma and also to bring in all the way to the supreme court simply said that we will give you all of the constitutional analysis that we think is defensible. in the point of litigation were cases were being filed in the second circuit, where there was no law of the circuit that could be applied to discrimination based on orientation and when you sit down to answer that question according to what the rules are, it is extraordinarily difficult to mount a decision that says that discrimination based on sexual orientation ought to be subject to a rational scrutiny. they came to the lawyers conclusion that they could not make that argument. the only argument they could make is that doma implies strict scrutiny under the equal protection law, which no one has been able to argue because it is not arguable. the law is so close to flat out irrational that it cannot come close to satisfying scrutiny. >> paul said the magic words, and not all of the students in the room here, and certainly not the audience, understand advance
